ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to novel IAP inhibitor compounds of formula I:

SUMMARY

The present invention relates generally to novel compounds that inhibit the binding of the Smac protein to Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPB). The present invention includes novel compounds, novel compositions, methods of their use and methods of their manufacture, wherein such compounds are generally pharmacologically useful as agents in therapies whose mechanism of action rely on the inhibition of the IAP/caspase9 or Smac/IAP interaction, and more particularly useful in therapies for the treatment of proliferative diseases, including cancer.

BACKGROUND

Programmed cell death plays a critical role in regulating cell number and in eliminating stressed or damaged cells from normal tissues. Indeed, the network of apoptotic signaling mechanisms inherent in most cell types provides a major barrier to the development and progression of human cancer. Since most commonly used radiation and chemotherapies rely on activation of apoptotic pathways to kill cancer cells, tumor cells which are capable of evading programmed cell death often become resistant to treatment.

Apoptosis signaling networks are classified as either extrinsic when mediated by death receptor-ligand interactions or intrinsic when mediated by cellular stress and mitochondrial permeabilization. Both pathways ultimately converge on individual Caspases. Once activated, Caspases cleave a number of cell death-related substrates, effecting destruction of the cell.

Tumor cells have devised a number of strategies to circumvent apoptosis. One recently reported molecular mechanism involves the over expression of members of the IAP family. IAPs sabotage apoptosis by directly interacting with and neutralizing Caspases. The prototype IAPs, XIAP and clAP have three functional domains referred to as BIR 1, 2 & 3 domains. BIR3 domain interacts directly with Caspase 9 and inhibits its ability to bind and cleave its natural substrate, Procaspase 3.

It has been reported that a proapoptotic mitochondrial protein, Smac (also known as DIABLO), is capable of neutralizing XIAP and/or cIAP by binding to a peptide binding pocket (Smac binding site) on the surface of BIR3 thereby precluding interaction between XIAP and/or cIAP and Caspase 9. Binding of peptides derived from Smac has also been reported to trigger autocatalytic polyubiquitination and subsequent proteosome-mediated degradation of CIAP1. The present invention relates to therapeutic molecules that bind to the Smac binding pocket thereby promoting Caspase activation. Such therapeutic molecules are useful for the treatment of proliferative diseases, including cancer.

The inventive compound is selectively toxic or more toxic to rapidly proliferating cells than to normal cells, particularly in human cancer cells, e.g., cancerous tumors, the compound has significant antiproliferative effects and promotes differentiation, e.g., cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

The present invention further relates to a method of promoting apoptosis in rapidly proliferating cells, which comprises contacting the rapidly proliferating cells with an effective apoptosis promoting amount of a non-naturally-occurring compound that binds to the Smac binding site of XIAP and/or cIAP proteins. Preferably, the non-naturally-occurring compound is a compound of present formula I.

The invention relates also to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of formula I, to their use in the therapeutic (in a broader aspect of the invention also pro-phylactic) treatment or a method of treatment of a kinase dependent disease, especially the preferred diseases mentioned above, to the compounds for said use and to pharmaceutical preparations and their manufacture, especially for said uses.

The present invention also relates to pro-drugs of a compound of formula I that convert in vivo to the compound of formula I as such. Any reference to a compound of formula I is therefore to be understood as referring also to the corresponding pro-drugs of the compound of formula I, as appropriate and expedient.

The pharmacologically acceptable compounds of the present invention may be present in or employed, for example, for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions that comprise an effective amount of a compound of the formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, as active ingredient together or in admixture with one or more inorganic or organic, solid or liquid, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers (carrier materials)

The invention relates also to a pharmaceutical composition that is suitable for administration to a warm-blooded animal, especially a human (or to cells or cell lines deri-ved from a warm-blooded animal, especially a human, e.g. lymphocytes), for the treatment of (this, in a broader aspect of the invention, also includes the prevention of (=prophylaxis against)) a disease that responds to inhibition of protein kinase activity, comprising an amount of a compound of formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, preferably which is effective for said inhibition, together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are those for enteral, such as nasal, rectal or oral, or parenteral, such as intramuscular or intravenous, administra-tion to warm-blooded animals (especially a human), that comprise an effective dose of the pharmacologically active ingredient, alone or together with a significant amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The dose of the active ingredient depends on the species of warm-blooded animal, the body weight, the age and the individual condition, individual pharmacokinetic data, the disease to be treated and the mode of administration.

The invention relates also to a method of treatment for a disease that responds to inhibition of a protein kinase and/or a proliferative disease, which comprises administering a (against the mentioned diseases) prophylactically or especially therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula I according to the invention, or a tautomer thereof or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, especially to a warm-blooded animal, for example a human, that, on account of one of the mentioned diseases, requires such treatment.

The dose of a compound of the formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to be administered to warm-blooded animals, for example humans of approximately 70 kg body weight, preferably is from approximately 3 mg to approximately 10 g, more preferably from approximately 10 mg to approximately 1.5 g, most preferably from about 100 mg to about 1000 mg/person/day, divided preferably into 1-3 single doses which may, for example, be of the same size. Usually, children receive half of the adult dose.

The pharmaceutical compositions comprise from approximately 1% to approximately 95%, preferably from approximately 20% to approximately 90%, active ingredient. Phar-maceutical compositions according to the invention may be, for example, in unit dose form, such as in the form of ampoules, vials, suppositories, dragées, tablets or capsules.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are prepared in a manner known per se, for example by means of conventional dissolving, lyophilizing, mixing, granulating or confectioning processes.

The compounds of the present invention are prepared as depicted below in scheme 1. For example, compounds of formula (I) are prepared by reacting a carboxylic acid or acylating derivative thereof, such as an acid halide of formula (II) with an amine of formula (III) under amide forming conditions:

wherein R is a protecting group or R₁; R₁, R₂, R₃, R₃′, Q, n, D₁, D₂, M and U are as defined hereinabove.

The compound of formula (II) is either commercially-available or is prepared from formula (IV):

in which the amino group is reacted with an amino protecting group under conditions known to one of ordinary skill in the art. The compound of formula (III) is either commercially-available or prepared by art recognized techniques or may be prepared as depicted below in scheme 2.

wherein formulae (V), (VII), (VIII) and (IX) are either commercially available or prepared by art recognized techniques or as the scheme above shown, is a leaving group; P1 and P2 are protecting groups.

If any group on the reactants is reactive under the conditions described it is protected by a protecting group known in the art, prior to conducting the reactions described hereinabove and then removed after the reaction is effected. Protecting groups normally used in these reactions are described in a book entitled Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Theodora W. Greene, John Wiley & Sons, NY, N.Y. (1981), the contents of which are incorporated by reference.

Biological Activity

TR-FRET is a proximity based detection method that requires a donor label, Europium (Eu-Streptavidin) and an acceptor label, APC (anti-GST-APC). In the absence of a competitive small molecule, the GST-BIR3 fusion protein binds specifically to its natural ligand Smac, or, in the context of this assay, to B-Smac (biotinylated Smac). The subsequent addition of donor and acceptor labeled complexes results in Europium (via the Streptavidin:Biotin interaction) and APC (via the anti-GST:GST-BIR3 interaction) coming into proximity allowing fluorescence energy transfer. The excitation of Europium, by a 615 nM wavelength, results in the transfer of a singlet oxygen to the APC acceptor complex. This results in the excitation of APC and a release of energy detected at a wavelength of 665 nM. Compounds with Bir3 binding activity compete with Biotin-Smac for occupancy of the surface groove on GST-BIR3 resulting in concentration-dependent loss of signal. Assay plates are read on a multi-label plate reader using excitation and emission filters Europium 615 nM and APC 665 nM, respectively and the optical module Lance Eu/APC Dual 452. The IC₅₀ (concentration of compound inhibiting 50% of Smac binding) is determined using XLfit4 (IDBS) or Spotfire. Compounds 29-30 have IC₅₀ Range of 0.001-10 uM.
